What songs describe social media? When you first use @Facebook, it feels like @billyjoel "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant (1977)"
Then you get in political arguments & it feels like @FinalLevel's "Colors"
Then you read about how corporations & government use the data they collect and you realize that it's also @rushtheband's "2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx"
Twitter, on the other hand, for the user, is from Day 1 @jethrotull's "Bungle in the Jungle."

described in #Nuremberg trials, "aggressive war." If you're angry at Trump for pardoning people at the bottom of the criminal enterprise, how angry should you be at Obama & Biden for failing to investigate those at the top of enterprise which carried out one of the largest crimes
A misguided friend sent me a document supporting #45Regime allegations that he won reelection in November. Among the allegations is that in #Nevada "in an effort orchestrated by the Biden campaign, Native Americans appear to have traded their votes not for pieces of silver but

"The district court held not only that Contestants failed to prove each and every ground for contest asserted, but also that they failed to establish any
